To use our novel AI aided
by clinical experts to
streamline global
oncology research by
organizing real world
data and automating
clinical trials.

our story

Dr. Karim Galil was tired. He was tired of losing patients to cancer. He was tired of
messy
medical records. And he was tired of trying to stay on top of the avalanche of clinical
trials touting one solution or another. Losing both patience and too many patients,
Galil
decided to create an organized and artificially intelligent system to match those under
his
care with the best diagnostic and treatment methods available.

This journey matched Karim with Wael Salloum, PhD, who has been developing AI solutions
for
healthcare since 2013. Wael's fascination with AI started in 2005 when he built his
first semantic search engine. During his PhD at Columbia University, he was funded
for 6 years by two of DARPA's top AI research projects, GALE and BOLT, to develop NLP
algorithms for machine translation.

Out of the Silicon Valley, the world’s center for innovation, they started Mendel.ai and
secured funding from some of the world’s best VC firms to re-imagine the future of
clinical
trials using AI and Real World Data.

values

01

Be Authentic

Bold claims can kill patients. At Mendel, we tell an
honest story about the evidence we are building with
AI. We are committed to provide the truth.

02

Lead With Originality

What we are creating is an original solution. We
strive to innovate with every iteration and to do
things on our own terms, rather than copying
others.

Commit to Excellence

We never compromise quality. Real-world,
quality data is the core of our business and we
are committed to creating clarity from
the sea of complications.

04

Make a Difference

Our decisions are driven by data. We don’t “wing it.”
We are committed to getting it right and use data
to support our decision making leading to more
insights that could potentially change the world
in healthcare.

05

Think Like a Physician,
Code like a Developer

We are physicians first, technologists second. All of
our solutions are in the service of patients. With a
custom-built AI system, we are committed to combine an
oncologist intuition with machine precision.

06

Greet Challenges Head On

We don’t shy away from challenges. We began our
journey tackling the most difficult and complicated
medical landscape of oncology. Today, we continue
to take on complex medical environments with
vigor and enthusiasm.
